Are you passionate about driving change and supporting projects from conception to completion?

We're seeking a Project Support Officer to become part of RBL's skilled and innovative Transformation team on a fixed term contract until April 2026.

With a growing number of strategic programmes, our Transformation Management Office (TMO) is embarking on a journey to expand as a function. The role of the Project Support Officer will be part of this journey and will be supporting initiatives aimed at making a positive impact on the lives of our beneficiaries.

Together, the team in the TMO takes great pride in managing a diverse portfolio of programmes and projects. We work closely with our Executive team, as well as other senior leaders and colleagues across the charity, to provide expertise in project, programme and change management.

As a key member of our team, you'll play a crucial role in facilitating smooth project workflows, coordinating schedules and ensuring timely delivery of outcomes. We want someone to become an integral part of the delivery and get out there to understand the RBL and make a difference to the lives of those who have served, and currently serve, to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

The successful Project Support Officer should be proactive with exceptional organisational skills, attention to detail, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. Working with an experienced team you will be reporting into the Transformation Cluster Leader.

Some of the key areas of responsibility are as follows:

  • Support the Cluster Leader, Programme or Project Manager to ensure programme and project delivery is managed to a defined plan, with the appropriate project management methods, processes and standards implemented and maintained throughout the programme or project lifecycle.
  • Engage with stakeholders at various levels to gather requirements, provide updates and address concerns.
  • Support the Cluster Leader, Programme or Project Manager to prepare regular progress reports and presentations.
  • Support the identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks and issues, working closely with Programme and Project managers to develop appropriate mitigation strategies.

Here at RBL, we aim to support our people and their wellbeing, with a package including generous paid holiday allowance and pension scheme contributions, and a range of optional benefits and discounts.

You will be expected to travel regularly in the course of your work including regularly to our London, Haig House, hub. You will be contracted to your home address, where you will be expected to work - using our collaboration tools - when not travelling.
